As a Religious Man... I'm not happy...This arc can either become a Christmas carol... Or an attack on Religion...It's still too early to see what it will become, so I think that I will just wait and see...Thanks for the attention...

I'm struggling to understand where you're coming from, but you're definitely right in that it is a little early in the arc to specify anything.I (like a surprisingly amount of forum members and mods here ) am too a religious person, and I don't quite see how it's an attack.If anything, I've come to see that Housepets is actually drawing some connections when it comes to faith and/or Christmas.And to back up Kitch's statement, I know for a FACT that Rick is indeed a man of faith.Rick knew right from the beginning that there were going to be fans of this webcomic who didn't share his beliefs, as well as those who would give him criticism for it. As the Christmas arc progresses, I think you'll see that Rick has something good in store for Jessie and Ink.Being a cartoonist myself, I find it hard to make these sorts of connections in your work because you need a diverse audience.That all being said, I believe Rick is doing an excellent job incorporating what he believes into his work in a simple, yet funny Housepets way that we all can enjoy.Your feedback is HIGHLY welcome here, and whether question or concern, we all appreciate it just the same

One character being skeptical about things does not mean Rick intends to attack religion. Rick is, in fact, a religious person himself. No one is going to write an arc for the purpose of attacking their own belief system.

Thanks for the reply, Im better now.I also did not knew if Rick was religious or not.Thank you.

Probably Zach is going to get annoying times, considered like a divinity against his will... Custom Inc's home looks more confortable (still for little animals) than Jessica's one, and the flower pot is also here (found more info about how it works, good for previous noticing, Valerio). Another funny misunderstanding, this time by Custom Inc. Little and cute Tiny Tum, you're gonna be an angel, but not soon. Be strong, you've got your medicine, don't think that now.

I think it would be interesting to see a Housepets! "A Christmas Carol" but I don't see it working. None of the characters (except Jata, and possibly Pete) seem wicked enough to deserve the "Ebeneezer Scrooge" treatment.

Hmm..."Tiny Tum"...Jessica's lack of Openermas spirit...the arc's title.... I'm going to guess that this will be a Christmas-Carol-ish story. Also, Tiny Tum is adorable.

The comic is a work of fiction. Chill out (horrible, tired pun intended). It looks like it's leaning more toward the Christmas Carol thing, and the Housepets universe has already shown us its deity setup. Plus, the religious terms of what goes on in the HP world is for that world alone. Even if there were no god, deities, or whatever in the HP universe, why should that matter to your faith? It's not like Housepets is a 100% reflection of our world. I mean, animals are walking upright and speaking English for goodness sake. Apart from a parrot repeating what it hears, that just doesn't happen in reality. So even if religion's a lie in the HP universe (and they have gods so it's probably not a lie in the way most would think), it's not necessarily an attack on religion in the real world. Just calm down, accept that another world's religious standing might be different from our own, and try to enjoy the story being told.

I felt I was being respectful; I never called the user's intelligence into question or threw any other form of insults at them. I merely requested that they calm down, as they appeared to have been upset (using the term "chill out" out of an admittedly terrible attempt at bad humor, given the Winter season and the Christmas theme of the comic) and tried to explain to them that the religious standing in a fictional universe doesn't necessarily reflect how ours is in reality and thus, wouldn't necessarily be an attack on it.

Ninkurou, I apologize if I appeared hostile, rude, or disrespectful; it was not my intention.

I found the cute coughing scene to be most adorable myself, especially after following the angel comment. Poor Tiny Tum might be an angel soon!

Not too soon, I hope...

Well, let us hope Zach begins to realize the scope of the duties he fell into and that small miracles can happen...that or he turns out to be a really practical bunny!

Are you talking "practical" in the "Chronicles of Narnia"/"Peter Pan" sense, where "being practical" is reserved for the bad guys, or in the modern sense, where practicality is considered a good thing?
